Eintracht Frankfurt signed Philipp Max (29) from PSV Eindhoven for the left flank on Deadline Day. At the same time, the Europa League winner had another idea for this position: Borna Sosa (25).
According to ‘Bild’, the left-back from VfB Stuttgart was too expensive for the SGE – just like for Bayer Leverkusen, which made an offer of ten million euros. According to the report, VfB demanded at least twelve million for the Croatian third in the World Cup.
In addition to Sosa, Frankfurt’s sports director Markus Krösche had another top caliber for Eintracht conditions on the line. Manchester United’s Victor Lindelöf (28) was loaned out to reinforce the defensive back three. According to ‘Bild’, the Swede even accepted – but Manchester United didn’t let his substitute go.
